Drawing inspiration from the workwear style of NYPD raid jackets and duty jackets from the 1980’s, this design features a modern oversized silhouette, while also incorporating distinctive dropped armholes and tailored jacket details. This luxurious, ethical quality is achieved through the use of premium 100% organic cotton canvas, which is dyed with natural mineral and herb-based dyes. Additionally, the liner is crafted from a fine plain weave cotton textile produced by a renowned Japanese textile manufacturer.
Available in two fabrics and three colours, including Anthracite (charcoal) nylon, which is known for its outstanding waterproof and breathable properties. This specific material is made from recycled nylon and vegetable-derived components, further enhancing its eco-friendly attributes.
TEXTILE
The finest quality canvas fabric, which brings a pleasant texture unique to cotton, is an ESC original textile created through the excellent craftsmanship of a canvas maker in Shiga Prefecture. This maker has inherited and preserved the traditional Takashima sailcloth quality for generations. Only natural-origin materials, including pigments are used throughout the entire process. It is woven with unbleached yarns to enhance the comfortably rich texture and colour of the high-quality cotton.
INNER TEXTILE
A custom-made typewriter (plain weave) fabric is used to provide premium comfort, woven by an acclaimed textiles manufacturer established in 1928 within Shizuoka prefecture's renowned Enshu cotton textiles district. The high-density, smooth textile, created from 100% organic cotton yarn, is intricately woven on a traditional shuttle loom, which requires advanced craftsmanship. It also offers a comfortable range of motion for the arms, in addition to moisture absorption and temperature retention properties. The cotton yarn remains unbleached to preserve the natural texture and colour of the cotton.
NATURAL DYEING
Rose Madder fabric is dyed with natural Akane (madder) roots, an ancient Japanese dyeing technique used in many traditional crafts. Our colour intention is a subtle, soothing shade of rose that expresses the warmth and calmness of spring in Japan. The original heather colour is achieved by weaving the canvas fabric from the unevenly-dyed threads, beautifully transforming the subtle hues as light and perspective shift.
